One of the best moisturizers in the world is uric acid. Egyptian women
used to wrap their faces in towels soaked in cow's urine. They where
renowned in the ancient world for their beautiful complexions. There are
skin creams available that contain uric acid in crystalline form which
is derived from the urine of horses. The kidneys sterilize urine, so
there is no risk of infection. There is a more direct (and cheaper)
approach than skin creams.

Hi folks -
I am having serious issues with cracked skin on my thumb. about where
it
contacts the string, because of the dry winter weather here in the
north.
I am using band-aids to keep the crack closed, but the ones that I have
tried
all are too slippery to get a good sound on the lute strings. Has
anyone
found a good answer to this problem - either some bandage that works
well
for plucking, or some other way to keep the skin from cracking?
